ABSTRACT
Phosphorus is an essential element for life, an innate constituent of soil organic matter, and a major
anthropogenic input to terrestrial ecosystems. This paper employed the sequential extraction method
for phosphorus fraction to study the distribution of phosphorus in different region in Wuyishan.
Hierarchical cluster and correlation were used for investigating the relationship between the phosphorus
form and tea quality-related constituents in Zhengyan Rock Tea (ZYRT), Banyan Rock Tea (BYRT)
and Zhou Rock Tea (ZRT). The result showed that the concentration of phosphorus in different regions
followed this order: ZYRT>BYRT>ZRT. The relative contribution of phosphorus fraction in different
regions show the similar trend: Metal Oxide Bound Phosphorus (NaOH-P)>Calcium Bound Phosphorus
(HCl-P)> Reduced Phosphorus (BD-P)>Adsorbed Phosphorus (NH4Cl-P). The maximum content of
water extract (WE), caffeine (CF), tea polyphenols (TPP) and total amount of amino acids (TAA) in
tea leaves is in ZYRT, followed BYRT, and least in the ZRT. The phosphorus forms seem to have no
obvious effects on the tea quality in the ZYRT and BYRT area, while TPP and NaOH-P, TPP and HCl-P
are significantly positively correlated (r = 0.912, r = 0.956, r = 0.938; p<0.01) in ZRT.
